Ok, for 1841 I've gone for the Mary Vaughans that are in Monmouth as she doesn't seem to have been anywhere else over the years (I think the birth in Gloucestershire was a hiccup). So, because of her varying ages, there are 3 possibles. What's the bet it's the one in the workhouse LOL

There is this possible death for a Henry Vaughan (the one from the workhouse)

GREAT!!! so do you think perhaps Mary's family could be:

Household Members: Name Name
Ann Vaughn 47
Ann Vaughn 4
Mary Vaughn 14
Thomas Vaughn 32
Thomas Vaughn 5
Timothy Vaughn 2
William Vaughn 7

I know that on Edwin's marriage certificate his fathers name was put as Thomas Vaughan - more than likely for appearance sake - however Thomas could have be then name of his grandfather??? is this likley? Perhaps the spelling Vaughan changed over the years!?

Thanks Jeanette, it seems she was born in Monmouth.

There are a few possible christenings on the IGI (www.familysearch.org)

Maybe Mary should be checked with Sarah to see if they are sisters, although she could be her daughter as there is confusion over Mary's age?

I think she is the first one in the workhouse with Henry, not the daughter of Thomas and Ann

Henry's christening

Henry Vaughan
Christening: 07 FEB 1836 Monmouth, Monmouth, England

These christenings are given in the same batch on the IGI as Edwins (previous page on thread).

CAROLINE VAUGHAN Birth:
Christening: 22 JUL 1855 Monmouth, Monmouth, England

Mother: MARY VAUGHAN

WILLIAM VAUGHAN

Selena.....my gut feeling is that it's the one in the workhouse too. Don't ask me why lol

you may be interested to know that about three hundred years ago there was a famous Welsh poet, Henry Vaughan from Llansantffraed, Nr Brecon. An American friend of mine [sadly now deceased]Thomas O Calhoun, Professor of English from University of Delaware came to Cardiff on a sabbatical to write a book on Henry and I have a copy of that book "The Achievement of Silex Scintillans" - far too deep for me to understand I am afraid, but I have visited Henry's grave and seen where he lived

wow that's amazing - although i have to be honest and say i have no idea who Henry is! whenever i've been passed any information on Mary, it's only been mentioned her having one child, Edwin! i'm finding all of this such a mystery and really have no idea where to go with this. Is it likely mary had more children? how can we find her parents details?

Take a look at this site it tells you a bit about the work house and what records are held.

I guess i'm hoping that someone will be able to help me get something concrete on Mary but i;m just getting very confused with all the info provided . . . i don't really know what to do with it all and what i should take from it! AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH lol! this flippin woman is becoming the bain of my life!!! :o)
